The US production will take place in the drill hall at the Park Avenue Armory.

"I am delighted that we have the chance to recreate Macbeth in this epic setting," the director said.

Branagh, the director on the project, has received high praise for his take on the play, which saw him perform the title role for the first time.

Alex Poots, artistic director of both the Manchester International Festival and the restored Armory, said: "We are thrilled that Kenneth Branagh will be coming to the Armory to recreate this iconic role following his performance in Manchester this summer.

"And I am particularly excited that this production will mark his New York stage debut."
